Nether Brick Slab in Minecraft

Nether brick slabs are naturally generated in nether fortresses and can be picked up by players. They can be broken with or without any tool but nothing will be dropped if a pickaxe is not used.

Players can craft nether brick slabs themselves by placing three nether bricks next to each other in the crafting grid. You can also place nether bricks into a stonecutter to make nether brick slabs.

Nether brick slabs behave like regular slabs and are transparent to light and mobs. Slabs are seen as full blocks by mobs when they are pathfinding. Two slabs placed on top of each other make a full block of nether brick. These slabs don't have any specific use and cannot be used as a substitute for crafting recipes that require stone slabs of any kind.
